Does anyone know any pubs that would show the game?"
You will be able to see the Louth v Mayo under 20 semi final live on the TG4 PLAYER tomorrow night.
Someone with a smart tv/ tablet etc should be able to put it on for you. Clashing with the golf, rugby unfortunately.on main-stream tv.

Wow amazing - Louth u20's reach their first ever All Ireland Final at this level.

The Wee County's last AI Final was in 1957 for the Senior team.

2 in a row chasing Tyrone stand in their way in the Final.

Incredible year so far for Louth.

Great win tonight for our u20s. Unreal fielding from both sides. We deserved the win just about. We've had better performances but semis are all about the result. Well done lads

These days are simply beyond my wildest dreams. Each week it just gets better. In the Naul outscoring Dublin 1-9 to 0-1 in second half. The sheer emotional release of Sunday. The endless joy since. And tonight again. Basking in sun all the time. The dog days are over. People we have seem during all the dark days just walking on air. Thinking of those great gaeks who are not around to see it, but also thrilled to see new generations decked on red and white.
Bliss were it in this dawn to be alive but to be Louth is very heaven!

No stopping the Wee County this year. To see a Louth team at any level in an All Ireland final is some achievement. Fergal Reel is some manager. He won senior titles with the Pats and the Jocks. A future Louth manager. Congrats to the under 20s. Next stop is Newbridge on Monday night for the minors. An Lu Abu!

Louth is divided by soccer and united by GAA.

What a great day the Leinster final was. From the very start even before the parade the supporters of both teams were fully engaged and Croke Park was rocking. It definitely transferred to the players as they both went at it, a very attack minded Final which made the whole experience even more exciting. We showed our maturity in the end to win it but this young Mead team are getting better and best of luck to them. For us being Leinster Champions is a dream come true and I believe we can do more. Was so happy for my father, to finally see us winning. Let do it! and start dining at the top table for the next few years. An Lu Abu.

I agree with everything you say ninja. The atmosphere before throw on was unreal, couldn't hear the band with the noise. Serious colour and roar from Louth and Meath. Hair standing on neck and tears in the eyes. My dad has been chasing Louth from 1957 as a child at those games for the same buzz. TBH I never really believed that it could happen until Sunday and I'm delighted for the older folk to get to see it. Hopefully we can challenge for more in the near future. Thebslidkng door moment of the year must be Meath in the league. Had we dropped to Div 3, I think the wheels may have came off the wagon. It was a real boost for confidence.

What a fantastic few weeks for us supporters. Things like this don't just happen by chance. It takes good players who are committed with the right management team in place and financial backing. Well done to Fergal and the under 20's and hopefully the minors can do the job on Monday. In respect to the senior team they have given us some great days in last few years and had been building towards winning Leinster. They went and done it. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed the way the GAA promoted the Leinster final. It was all about 2010. They kept very quiet back in 2010 about it. Anyway this Louth team are different and were not going to get caught up in talk about 2010. I suppose over the last few years Meath supporters continued to talk about it. Not sure if this was to try annoy Louth fans or if its because its the only thing they have won in nearly 25 years. Before the game last week I was not overly confident. However that all changed once I got to Dublin. The Meath supporters with their Joe Sheridan banners and songs. I laughed when I saw this. Living in the past instead of focussing on the current Meath team. The last five minutes when Louth began to keep ball was the most relaxed I have ever been at a Louth game. I knew they were going to do it. They had a plan in place for a situation like this and had the composure to execute it. Meath supporters should take note of Sam Mulroys response to a question he was asked on TV after the game about the 2010 final. His response was "we wont talk about that". But I suppose Meath will continue to talk about 2010 as they haven't been good enough to win one since 2001. Best of luck to all the Louth teams for rest of season.

The turfman from Ardee. If I had to pick a song it would be the woods of County Louth or red is the rose.

Surely, "Farewell to Carlingford" should be in the mix

What a hard reach this is, louth fans like you crying for 15 years about 2010, no meath people talked about it whatsoever. Before 2010 yee cried about our last gasp winner in navan in 2002. Even now after winning leinster for the first time in 68 years you're still crying about Meath! The whinging wee county we should call yee.

Well done to louth players and proper fans on here, class team and good times ahead by the looks of your underage teams.
